Trade Up! Contextual Leadership Program with Susan Elliott-Rink
The Trade Up! Contextual Leadership program, facilitated by Susan Elliott-Rink, provides a methodology for helping leaders, professionals, and emerging staff identify and address their blind spots using practical tools and reflection. Individuals often have habitual ways of acting and behaving that can get in the way of their commitments (e.g., well-being, peace of mind, confidence, communication, authentic relationships). Contextual leadership allows organizations to reveal and eliminate invisible constraints and limitations that are operating in the background of the organizational culture. Having folks participate in this work allows an organization to develop a culture where everyone thrives.
As an organization leader, we invite you and up to five members of your team to join us at one of these sessions. When thinking of who may benefit from contextual leadership, we recommend that you include your high-performing, high-potential, and high-value staff who want to accelerate development and impact performance. This program can build and expand relationships in Volusia County through our shared leadership language and understanding of how contexts are shaping our future.
Process:
One to two day-intensive sessions include an introduction to the tools and methodology and a solid understanding of how the process works. The one to two-day sessions are the first step in the Contextual Leadership process. The five-week series is the second step in the process and will provide a deeper dive into individual contexts. In order to attend a five-week series, you should complete an introductory program (one or two-day intensive, company-sponsored session, and/or individual work with Susan).
